Step-by-Step Instructions for Pistachio Raspberry Cake
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, salt, milk, and vegetable oil. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Continue mixing the batter until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency, which should take an additional minute or two.
  3. Gently swirl in the fresh raspberry sauce using a butter knife, zig-zagging through the batter.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly on top of the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into a prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  6. Once baked, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
